Motorcyclist hit by flying bathtub!

Have you ever been driving on a highway and noticed items like mattresses, box springs or other large objects on the road or at the side of the road? If you’re like me you’re probably glad that you weren’t driving behind a vehicle when they lost those items, right?

Well, an elderly motorcyclist wasn’t so lucky. Last month a motorcycle rider was critically injured when a boxed bathtub fell off a pickup truck.

Wow, hit by a bathtub. That man will have a story to tell! When he was hit on a Louisiana interstate he was thrown from his bike and landed on the grass median. When helped arrived he was taken to a local hospital. I’m uncertain as to what his injuries were but I’d imagine that he’d have a few broken bones at the very least.

Naturally the pickup driver was charged with driving with an unsecured load and booked for negligent injury.
